About Zeagle Octo-Z Alternate Air Source

Zeagle's regulators are US made, built under strict controls for quality in our own factory, using state of the art equipment and procedures. Your regulator is one of your most important pieces of gear. No matter what kind of diving you do, you can do it better with Zeagle.

The Octo-Z Inflator replaces the conventional BC power inflator and second stage octopus by combining the functions of both into a single unit. When you're taught how to dive you are given practice in buoyancy control more than any other skill. Once you start to dive every time you go underwater, fin the reef, or surface you use buoyancy control. All this time your octopus second stage regulator hangs un-used and out of mind.

When a real life out-of-air situation occurs, the stress and anxiety mounts, and you find yourself fumbling for a piece of equipment you never use the Octopus! Combining your inflator devise (that you use on every dive) with your Octopus Regulator assures your ability to react properly when an out-of-air emergency occurs. Be a safe diver with the Octo-Z Breathable Inflator.

The Octo-Z is a Dependable Downstream Demand Valve Design Breathable Inflator. The Octo-Z has a Balanced Inflator Valve Design and is manufactured from Brass, Flexible and ridged Thermoplastics, Elastomeric Polymers and Silicone Rubber. The Breathable Inflator weighs 8 oz (213 g) without the hose, providing a Lightweight and Compact Alternative to having both a Standard Inflator Mechanism and a Separate Octopus Regulator.

The High-Flow Inflator Hose is 27" (69 cm) in length with 3/8" Threads. The Octo-Z is also equipped with a Threaded Coupling that allows you to attach the end of the BC Corrugated Hose to a Garden Hose for Easy and Effective Rinsing of the BCD's Air Bladder. This feature also allows you to disconnect the Octo-Z for storage with your Primary Regulator. The combining of the Alternate Air Source and Inflator Mechanism also eliminates a Hose and Streamlines your Profile when diving. The Octo-Z comes with a Comprehensive Owner's Manual and is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

If one less hose is your goal then this air source fits the bill. However I found it uncomfortable because of the short hose, it pulled on the mouthpiece , compared to an octo alone. The inflator/deflator was easy to use. If you never have ot use it for breathing then it doesnt matter,but thats a gamble you may not want to take.

The larger inflator connector means you need to carry a standard hose in case you need to switch to another BCD. Rare but possible. It wheezes a bit and requires a bit more pull than a standard octo, but is functional in an emergency. The inflator and purge both explode a gush of air far harder than the standard equivelant of either. Purge this with it in your mouth and it will blast your cheeks full. Despite sounding 'wet' if remained a dry breather in all orientations. I haven't gotten to test it in extreme cold yet.

A good solution for those who would like to eliminate a hose.The threaded connector allows quick and easy installation on Zeagle BCDs and enables keeping the Octo-Z attached to your reg rather than your BCD
